Separation from Army, after having been injured by mustard gas. Served in France, left US 9/14/18 to 3/27/19. Member of Company F, 307 Engineers from 9/27/17 to 10/14/17. Company I, 106 Engineers to 3/11/19. Casual Co. (Casualty) to date of discharge.
Manhattan Project: Jessie T. Rogers worked on construction of the facility at Oak Ridge, TN in the 1940, until it's completion. Along with 25,000 some odd other workers they built it without really knowing what it was all about. As it turns out the facility was used to enrich the uranium needed to develop the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan to end WW II. There are still some aspects of the facility today and what goes on there that are have not been disclosed.
The Secretary of War at the time, Harry Stinson (if the writing is correct) presented him and I'm sure many, many others with a letter that documents the work done was instrumental in the development of the atomic bomb.
